Match Day Thread Sheff Utd v Hull City

Yeah I realised, that’s why I said so.

Smoke canisters aren’t flares though. They’re very different

 

It starts with smoke bombs
Where does it end?

Car bombs? Napalm?
Ieds?

 

What's the difference? I always thought they were just different names. Can they not burn people? Is the smoke less thick?

 

Flares are used to signal helicopters in the dead of night

Smoke bombs during the day

 

So it's about the amount of light they give off? Haven't seen smoke bombs used over here, but if they're safer wonder if there'd be a way to encourage their use.

 

**** me there’s some pearl clutching going on in here today.

 

The tip of flares burns at extremely hot temperature

Designed to be used in all weather and wind conditions

 

Both burn at dangerously high temperatures, can cause people breathing difficulties and are designed for use in open spaces. Anyone claiming smoke bombs are 'safer' than flares in the context of a football match is being disingenous.

 

Ah ok, so not "very different" as Dennis suggested.

 

In my opinion and in the context of their use at a football match, no.

 

You don’t remember acting like a ****er at City do you? I know I do, is it because your little choir boy act stops you?

 

Red distress flares are a mixture of magnesium fuel and perchlorate oxidiser. They produce a blindingly bright red flame at 1600 degrees centigrade (at least) and are virtually impossible to extinguish. They can set fire to anything flammable they come into contact with, and produce really bad burns. Distress smokes are a mixture of sugar and chlorate and an oily dye which is vaporised to produce the smoke. They burn at 400-600 degrees inside the can which gets pretty hot. The smoke is bad in confined areas especially for those with breathing difficulties.

 

Terrace culture is changing very quickly..

Youth prefer Bump to Ale now pyrotechnics and all…..

“ It’s the modern day dance bro…”


Sigh…



Allam’s GONE.

 

I use smoke pellets at work, very similar to the smoke bombs, or grenades as they are sometimes marketed, the one I use are lit with my blow torch, the smoke in them is harmless, the problem with the bombs or grenades name, is that the very word encourages throwing them.
We used to sling bangers about as kids, everyone does it, wisdom comes with age, and daft lads at footy don’t yet have that, they will realise how stupid it is to throw them, hopefully before any one else gets hurt and they get a stadium ban, just drop the ****er at your feet

 

Distress smokes are not the ones used at football, they are the same that paintballers use to hide behind, the smoke given off is harmless even if it smells a bit

 

I doubt the chemistry is radically different. Outside they are ok, but inside, not so good

 

Hysterical, overwrought types having a nervous breakdown?

 

Tanks. It ends with tanks in the away end. Mark my words.

 

Except those aren’t the ones being used at football.

 

Honestly mate what are you still chirping for, course I’ve acted like a ****er, we all have. Does that mean to say I can’t comment on something else? You’re absolutely exhausting, so angry. Go for a walk with the Mrs and the kids and relax yourself.
